INVENTOR WITNESS: ATTORNEY UNITED STTE PATENT OFFIC GEORGE A. JONE$, OF PIAPOT, SASKATCHEW'AN, CANADA SIUBIBLE BURNER Application filed. August 27, 1926. Serial No. 132,011.

This invention comprehends the provision of a stubble burner, wherein fuel is conveyed from a supply tank carried by the machine to a burner arranged in close proximity to the 5 ground, and to which burner air is also deliver-ed by means actuated from the axle of the machine when the latter is in motion.

More specifically stated the invention makes use of a fan carried by the axle of the machine, and operating within a casing communicating with the burner, wiereby air is delivered to the latter to commingle with the fuel and at the same time supply the flame with sutdcient force to accomplish its purpose.

The nature and advantages of the invention will be better understood when the following detail description is read in connection with the accompanying drawings, the invention residing in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts as claimed.

In the drawings forming p art of this application like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views and wherein:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical sectional view of the burner.

Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view through the supply tank.

Figure 4 is a sectional view through the tan casing showing how the fan 15 mounted on the aXle.

Referring to the drawings in detail 10 indicates the wheels of the machine which are mounted on the axle 11, while rising from this axle are spaced standards 12, each of which has associated with the upper end thereof a band or annulus 13 which surrounds and supports a fuel supply tank 14;.

This

tank is provided with an opening normally closed by a cap 15, while projecting from the tank is a handle 16. Projecting from the opposite side of the tank, and in align with the handle 16 is a supply pipe 17 through which the fuel is conveyed from the tank to the burner to be presently described.

This burner includes atube 18 in which is arranged a wick 19, and the supply pipe 17 is connected with the tube by means of a sleeve-like coupling 20.

Surrounding the lower end of the tube and spaced concentric with relation thereto is the burner body 21 into which air is conveyed through the pipe 22, so that the flame is provided with the necessary force in the direction of the ground for the purpose intended. The wick 19 is adjusted in any ordinary well known manner, through the instrumentality of a toothed wheel 22 which is operated by the wheel 23.

The air is supplied to the pipe 22 by means of a fan 23 which operates in a suitable housing or casing 2 l shown in Figure l, this housing or casing being connected to and communicating with the air pipe 22. Consequently when the axle 11 is rotated incident to the moving of the machine over the ground air is forced through the pipe 22 into the body of the burner as clearly indicated in Figures 1 and 2.

While it is believed that from the foregoing description, the nature and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent, I desire to have it understood, that I do not limit myself to what is herein shown and described and that such changes may be resorted to when desired as fall within the scope of what is claimed.

What is claimed is:

A stubble burner comprising a wheeled "frame, a fuel tank supported thereon, horizontally disposed air and fuel supply pipes arranged in spaced superposed relation and projecting forwardly in advance of the machine, and a vertically arranged burner including a body supported by and communicating with said air supply pipe, and a wick receiving tube rising from the body of the burner supported by and communicating with the fuel supply pipe.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
